Watching Video Swings:

Don’t look for a “position”, look at in a general Sybervision ** way. Look for similarities and/or differences of areas that may be of interest to you like: swing shapes, set-up/address looks, impact areas, swing motions, swing finishes ,etc. If your Pro/PGA instructor/me talks about how your arms should swing, look at how a certain player does it and how another may do it. The Tour Pros have wonderful hand-eye-coordination AND they are expert Manipulators of Impact. Your general visualization is more important than some magic position.

Understand that different camera angles can make certain positions “appear” a certain way, but are not what you might think you see because of the different angles the video could have been shot at.
As an example, a camera set for a down-the-target- line will give a position one look, a camera angle down-body-line will give a different look, higher or lower will show another look.
Video is a great teaching/communication tool, but only within the context of learning a feel that is individual, which is to say …yours.

We usually don’t know what kind of shot the players were trying to hit, which can affect its “look”. If the shot the player was trying to produce had a left- to- right shape, or right- to- left shape, that factor could easily affect the player’s different set-ups, hand/arm swing shapes.

Some swings are taken on a driving range while others are on a golf course during play. The better players, (which all Tour Professionals have to be), always try to hit shots to targets and with some sort of shape to the ball’s flight. That requires “feel” adjustments, which could easily change a look of a swing at that time.

The Loading Period:

The swings “Loading” may take a few seconds to load.

Give the page a full load time. Some swings may appear earlier than others, let them load completely. (they will run through a complete swing speed cycle, then stop in "ready still mode" for you to activate with the buttons)

If you just can't wait, no big deal, the swing may jump and stall a little at first, but will eventually run smoothly when fully loaded. You will find the next time you view this page, whether going back and forth today or the next day, month, etc. the swings will appear and load MUCH quicker.

** SyberVision or CyberVision has been referred to as Muscle Memory Programming, or as often referred to as“Repititous Sensory Stimulation”. Some would say SyberVision could be used as a “dramatic improvement in the quality and consistency of a player”. Basically, a theory based on viewing enough times and you will do it.

"There is no such thing as a natural touch. Touch is something you create by hitting millions of golf balls."

"Jack Nicklaus liked to curve the ball by opening or closing the clubface at address. I never felt I was good enough to do it his way. I didn't like changing my swing path, either, which some guys do."

--Lee Trevino

"Pressure is when you play for five dollars a hole with only two in your pocket."

"I'm actually a very quiet person off the golf course. I talk 150 miles per hour when I'm at the course, but when in private I very seldom ever open my mouth."

--Lee Trevino

"Show me someone who gets angry once in a while, and I'll show you a guy with a killer instinct. Show me a guy walking down the fairway smiling, and I'll show you a loser."

--Lee Trevino

When at the 1971 British Open, of which he won:

“You see those golfers practicing over there? They’ve all got golf swings good enough to win this tournament. The only trouble is those golfers are more afraid of winning than they are of losing. Now when I got off the plane I told everybody I was gonna win this British Open. I didn’t say it just once. I said it a hundred times and if you keep saying something you get to believe it. And once you believe it, it comes as no shock when you are out there leading the tournament. You then take victory as your right.”

"You can make a lot of money in this game. Just ask my ex-wives. Both of them are so rich that neither of their husbands work."

"I played the Tour in 1967 and told jokes and nobody laughed. Then I won the Open the next year, told the same jokes, and everybody laughed like hell."
